The worst-case cost for Radix Sort when sorting n keys with keys in the range 0 to r^3-1 is:

\Theta(n)
  • \Theta(n \log n)
  • \Theta(n^2)
  • \Theta(n^3)

In this question, we restricted the key range.

We restrict the key range to be a constant number of digits, independent of the number of records.

So, each record is processed three times.
